What To Expect

After pickup at your central Buenos Aires hotel, arrive in historic San Telmo. One of the city's oldest neighborhoods, San Telmo played a large part in the development of the tango decades ago. The three-story Viejo Almacen, also known as the 'tango temple,' will host you for an evening of artistic and culinary delights.

Let yourself be swept up in the energetic mood at Viejo Almacen, where the performance features over 20 dancers, as well as musicians and poets. Enjoy the passionate, expressive dance demonstrated by seasoned professionals and marvel at their grace and athleticism. Listen to the traditional tango music, which features accordion, guitar and often singing.

If you choose to have dinner at the venue, dig in to your delicious Argentine meal before the show begins. Courses include authentic empanadas, vegetable risotto, ham and cheese sorrentini, and a delectable dessert. Beverages and soft drinks are unlimited, and each adult will enjoy a half bottle of local wine.

If you choose to purchase the show only, your shuttle will drop you at the venue in time for the tango show. End your evening with drop-off at your central Buenos Aires hotel.

Kathy_R, Jan 2024

Enjoyed the variety of entertainment. Food was not great but was in a charming place. Service was excellent. The flan was the best.

Great show lousy viator customer service

Lynn_M, Nov 2022

The lack of Lauren agent assistance to make it a memorable evening. Two sisters traveling had requested a hotel pickup for Friday November 18th. No confirmation of time provided by gray line contacted viator customer help. She indicated would email the pick up time. She never responded. We had to pay for a cab over and back from venue with was over 25 dollars and wait 2 hours for the show to start since we were so early. Still do not have any notices from viator. Poor customer service. Noticed another individual placard card at our table with viator on it. The seat was empty. I wonder what his story is regarding the booking

The dinner and show were both great. A lot less touristy than ome of the other shows in town. This was my parents' first time to Buenos Aires and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. However, the transportation was very late close to an hour. I speak some Spanish and had I not call them, they would never have come.

Malu, Nov 2017

We loved the show and the dinner but was a little disappointed at our seat location at the show. I wish I had known more about where we were going to be seated in advance. But overall the show was amazing and food was excellent. I would recommend this tour but perhaps to get front row seating next time.

Fabulous food, fabulous show. Transfer company Gray Line was on time, but didn't come into hotel to find us, so there were some miscommunications. They did fine after we got together. Viejo Almacen is in a historic building, more intimate size, showed us all styles of tango. Fun.

Jean B, Mar 2017

Tango show is very good and very traditional in a very realistic place. Not a stage type production but a small show with close seating to the stage. 4-5 couples dance and show their incredible skills. I elected to for the dinner included package for time reasons. There are better places to eat in Buenos Aires, but it was very convenient not having to be rushed. An alternative would be to have dinner after the show, which would be around 10PM. All restaurant typically stay open until midnight the least. El Viejo Almacen is clean, with seasoned and friendly staff. I did not use the transportation that was included since I was staying at a private home

Pick up from my hotel was puntual then we wizzed around town collecting others before a meal of tasty Argentine steak and chips with delicious red wine. The show was great. Very talented musicians and the dancers were amazing. A superb evenings entertainment.

Michael S, Feb 2015

The dinner was very good, but not great. Still, good by Buenos Aires standards means the food was very excellent compared to what I could get at home...it's just there are better restaurants in Buenos Aires. Sort of felt bad that as a lonely diner I had to eat by myself instead of people I had met on the way there. However, drinks were included (huge plus) and the tango show was fantastic! 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Great show. Bubbly on arrival and another drink during show included which was not mentioned in tour description. Collected from hotel. Good seats and traditional venue made for a good evening.

Sam f, Jun 2012

Probably be better if I was in a group. Drinking and eating diner alone is not my style.The show was good, but I hear that there several others shows in old theaters that are as good.

Soirée inoubliable

Marco_C, Sep 2022

El espectáculo muy bueno. Falta de seriedad con el pago, lo hice con mi tarjeta de crédito argentina en PESOS y me cargaron dólares en la cuenta !!

Beleza, tradição e comodidade.

JoelmaHelena_D, Apr 2019

Excelente passeio, vale muito o custo-benefício. O espetáculo é belíssimo, com cantores, dançarinos, músicos, muito boa ambientação e cenários. Completo, sem ser cansativo. Nota 10.
